Battery drain in iOS 14.7.1

Completely agree!!! This is the result of the update!!!! My house is full of mostly iphone users and everyone started experiencing this problem after updating to 14.7.1!!!!! You cannot tell me that everyones batteries all of a sudden started going bad!!!!! THIS is Crazy!!!! Apple NEEDS to fix this!!!!!

who knows if this post will finally be kept up. 1st amendment not allowed here apparently. contained no cusses, nothing. God forbid you criticize bad product, bad work. I have the same issue and it drains my brand new iPhones battery in 4 hours from 100%. THIS IS NUTS!!!!

now the phone is useless because I do not know when it will suddenly turn off if it has 80 percent or 40, and all these answers like "check the battery status, is the battery original, what iPhone model do you have" are so pointless that I want to laugh , phone worked fine on version 14.5.1 ... I don't have the strength for it anymore

And why should I? Why should I change the way I’m using my iPhone? It was perfectly fine before the update. Apple broke it, why should I adapt to this change? I want Apple to fix it, I don’t want advice on how to live with it.

I have my 11 Pro Max for 2 years. My battery health was 99% before 14.7.1, since then it dropped to 96%.

Total charge at the morning doesn’t support the divice to the end of the day, usually, before 14.7.1, I had 30% at 11PM.

I really hope it will be fixed, but the battery health will no be recovered.

Bro, at this point I think all hopes lost until apple pull their head in and fix their issues and or make replacement batteries cheaper for us consumers otherwise I’ll have to have a look and see what other android phones there are because this is getting out of hand with all this battery drain 🥲, just why do apple make these terrible decisions to us customers?? Why can’t they just respect that not all users have the money to upgrade their iPhones to the newest iPhones?? Why can’t we just enjoy the iPhones we’ve got 🥲🥲 just please apple FIX!! FIX!! FIX!! (;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`)

Well, since my battery is totally degenerate, how do you explain the fact that on the same battery on the ios 14.5.1 system, I could use the phone for 16 hours. And earlier on the same battery on ios 14.2 I had the same problem as I have now on 14.7.1, what suddenly on 14.5.1 my battery repaired itself?

I will also mention that I used the special version of ios 14.5.1 because my phone worked flawlessly, and I did not want to update the device because on the forum I read that problems with 14.2 returned. Unfortunately, I was forced to update, because suddenly my applications stopped working when I was using mobile data, they only worked when I was connected to wi-fi, even restarting the network settings did not help. So don't write me stupid things and don't justify a badly written system ....

I am done, I will not argue with you.

Disagreeing with facts and not providing information when asked is a pointless discussion anyway. Certainly not an argument.

We still don't know the model of phone and if the battery is the original one, but as you are done here we may never know.

(Let's guess - iphone 7 with fake battery fitted by third party)

I have to correct it, I didn't use the "special" version of the system, I only used this version of the system on purpose because I knew it worked fine. I missed this word, English isn’t my native language, sorry :)

Im also experienced the same thing,my iphone Xr was 96% but after the update, i observed that my battery seems to drop so fast than usual… my routine was as usual as before, but i have to charge more than 2 time a day… my battery health also drop from 96% to 93% in a week… pleas ehelp me to fix this issue

I am experiencing the same thing. My battery’s draining even if I’m not using it after being fully charged. My iPhone 11’s battery health is still at 100%. I hope Apple can fix this problem! This is so disappointing!

Same for me on an iPhone 6s! This was after an online chat with Apple Support where the person recommended I upgrade to 14.7.1. The battery percentage now goes into freefall.

Probably the worst thing is I use my 6s with a VR 360° camera which attaches to the phone.

I’d really like to be able to downgrade the iOS and have been looking for ways to do this.

I’m not impressed because Apple Support recommended going to 14.7.1 :(

I have lost way too much battery health here 😞, apple shouldn’t be treating their customers like this and making us constantly buy new products because we don’t have unlimited money and plus performance and cellular connection issues are plagued on my iPhone, they need to fix this ASAP , this is very disappointing and isn’t worth its money if this is all they do 😠😭

My iPad has been lasting all day with normal use before this last update now it goes flat in less than two hours and even being plugged in on charge it continues to lose power.

Who knows what normal idle battery drain should be? For example, I have 8% battery drain overnight (8-9 hours). Is it ok? I had this percentage starting from 14.6 to 14.7.1

and it doesn’t matter on/off WiFi, Bluetooth, etc

my device iPhone XS Max (100% battery health, I bought new device last month)

I tried reset settings, network settings: no changes (but did not try reset+erase)

p.s. have no any problems on iPad 2017 (14.7.1)
